It's a movie! Yeah, we're gonna make a movie!

I'm bored, and this is dangerous. So...

Cast your movie version of Rosemary and Rue! Tell me who you'd pick to play the major roles, and why. The cast list I find the most utterly delightful will win a signed ARC of A Local Habitation.

To get you started, here are some main characters to consider:

* October "Toby" Daye
* Sylvester and Simon Torquill
* Devin
* Dare
* Tybalt
* Connor O'Dell
* Danny
* Luna Torquill
* Rayseline Torquill

Game on!

ETA: ...and a winner has been chosen. Feel free to keep on casting, though, this is hysterical!

I am totally squeeing out - went to B&N to get a piece of unclaimed art paid for and claimed and what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a PILE of A Local Habitation sitting on the New Science Fiction/Fantasy shelf!!!!

Naturally, I picked one off the pile and went to the coffee shop and started reading.

Oh, yeah, I paid for it and brought it home, too.

****SQUEEEEE****

Official street date vs. when they get it in. B&N and Borders both put it out early, IMX, when they can. Powell's seems to adhere to the street date, sadly. This makes pre-ordering through them not a win.

Well, yes, and no. It's actually bad for my first week sales figures when books go out early like this, and assuming I ever become a "big name" author, my street dates will get a lot stricter. So Powell's is actually following the rules right now.

Whups. Good to know! I didn't know it messed you up. I knew it messed up stores that "played nice" and customers who ordered from those stores (okay, technically the customers still get what they should've, but it is kinda frustrating to see lots of people have the book while you're still waiting). In which case I will be more inclined to give those stores a miss and go with Powell's, even if it means waiting - two good reasons, for your sake and because I do like Powell's even if I also want the crack, er book, sooner.
